Thank you so much. What a fantastic idea. How lovable and charming these men are who have found themselves and succeeded so well. I just wish and hope they are around many young people as a good influence. Your work is very inspiring.

I loved this video…it was very moving and inspiring. I loved that people acknowledged God’s hand in this and their gratitude. Gardening inside and out is so effective. Jesus’ parables were all about planting and growing things. thank you David for your “vision” and follow through.

What an inspiring program. This is proof that compassion, opportunity, prayer and a desire to change one’s life is a resounding success. Is this program being duplicated outside of Oakland? Will share with friends and associates. Thanks so much.

This inspiring video is a direct and persuasive rebuttal to the concept of giving prisoners “what they deserve” in the sense of providing only harsh conditions. If we look at it from the standpoint of what the community deserves, doesn’t it deserve to have citizens that contribute and make it a better place to live? I think so. And that translates to giving inmates skills, a feeling of self-worth, a way to support themselves. Isn’t that what we all truly deserve?
And, by the way. If Planting Peace can afford to pay a living wage of $17.50, then so can Walmart, McDonalds and other chains.

This IS incredible. I encountered a person fund-raising for Planting Justice in Berkeley about a month ago and made a donation. I’m going to send them more money and spread the word. Thank you for sharing this inspiring video. So many blessings.

I loved hearing these stories of inner transformation. It’s great how Insight Garden teaches about working on the inner garden, creating that inner awareness of each person’s abilities and the possibilities of growth ( with character development and employment).
